NOTE
l
You can use the
standby interface
command repeatedly to configure multiple standby interfaces for
an active interface.
l
An active interface can be backed up by a maximum of three standby interfaces. One standby interface
can back up only one active interface.
l
The NE80E/40E supports up to 10 active interfaces simultaneously.

2.3.3 Configuring the Percentage Thresholds for Load Balancing
A percentage of traffic can be set for a standby interface so that the standby interface transmits
network traffic.
Context
Perform the following steps on the router that needs to be configured with the load balancing
interface backup:
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
Run:
interface
interface-type
interface-number
The active interface view is displayed.
Step 3
Run:
standby threshold
enable-threshold
disable-threshold
The percentage threshold for load balancing is set.
By default, the system does not support the load-balancing mode, that is, no threshold percentage
is configured.
When the flow of the active interface reaches the pre-defined upper limit (
enable-threshold
),
the router automatically enables an available standby interface with the highest priority. This
standby interface undertakes the service transmission with the active interface.
When the flow of the active interface is less than the pre-defined lower limit (
disable-
threshold
), the router disables a standby interface with the lowest priority that transmits services
in load balancing mode.
----End
2.3.4 (Optional) Configuring the Bandwidth and Flow Check
Interval for the Active Interface
You can set the bandwidth of the active interface and the interval for detecting traffic as required.
